Rydia is so not happy with you @Griffinkeeper :p

'K so just discovered this SB, I am a bit troubled and curious about it, so here's a couple of questions about it:

1: about the cyber world. Is it actually an alternate world where you can do pretty much anything (by that I mean use virus and antivirus Megaman Battle Network style aside the usual things you can do in a cyber world, like chatting with friends) or just the cyber battlefield (similar to what it is in real life) of the hackers/coders?

2 (still about the cyber world): can we use/create any type of programs (realistic or not) for the cyber world so hacking/counter-hacking can become easier or more complex in some way? By that I mean like... Create a program that would trigger a certain situation depending on where it is placed (let's say a virus in a random computer would contaminate the whole system).

3: We can perfectly organize the cyber world/reality back and fourth the way we want, right? I mean, as long as it respects the rules.

1. The "Cyber-world" in this SB enables Storybookers to easily record what happens to them online. For instance, E.V.I.L. agents can hack into YWS and describe that in an epic fight-scene type post, making the tech side of this story more enjoyable to read. So pretty much anything digitally described within this SB would be under a header of "Digital" or "Cyber Space" or some other similar indicator.

2. That's absolutely fine (be creative!) but still respect the "power-gaming" type of rules set in place. Like, don't invent a program that randomly shuts down everyone's computers, unless the other Storybookers give the "okay" on that topic.

3. As long as you remain within the rules and (somewhat) maintain a sense of realism to your posts, go for it.

Hope that helps, @tortwag!

@Inkpot, go ahead and use my character if you want. If I have a problem with the post, I'm PM or IM you and we can fix it.

Thanks @Iggy will do

@AfterTheStorm
1: fair enough. That answers my question at least. Thanks!

2: That also answers everything I was asking for. And no that's not what I had in mind when asking, shutting down everything as simply as that would be a bit too over-powered for my taste Thanks for the extra info too, I need to keep that in mind.

3: Ok then!

Thank you for those precisions, I HAD to make a couple of things sure. Right! So I might start off and create a character for this SB. I just hope I won't be too inactive (currently in an exam period).

So I am to interrogate Iggy? Ok then.... I'm taking some grunts with me

Grunt Definition: A big guy without much brains who isn't a character in the story.
Right.

I think E.V.I.L will win. Are you being kidnapped? Because Griffin can be faking being on your side and subdues you in the car and Rydia could be faking it!

Never mind, just read Griffin's post..

But I'll be with Iggy...

-What-

My character, Blake, just got to Iggy's house... read my post

Oh, well Iggy just got kidnapped..... You hit the door so hard that it opens and you see an empty room. You wander around but still no Iggy

Ok sure
